Infinite credits:
-----------------
The following trick only works between the two indicated vendors. You can
usually buy items back from Expat at half the price you sold them to Dr. Michel
for. First, successfully complete the side quest involving Dr. Michel (from the
Med Clinic) and her blackmailer. After the quest is complete, you will get a
discount from all the goods she sells. Start selling her all of your expensive
equipment. Then, travel to the Wards Markets, and talk to the merchant named
Expat. You can buy all of your items back for cheaper than you sold them for.
Return to Dr. Michel, and sell her all of your items again. Repeat this process
as many times as desired.
Infinite Paragon points:
------------------------
Go to your Galaxy Map, and travel to the Attican Beta cluster. You will receive
a message from the Alliance Command telling you about a downed recon probe that
you must retrieve a data module from. From there, travel to the Hercules system,
and continue to the planet Eletania. After you reach the downed probe, you will
discover that a monkey-like native has made off with the data module. Get back
in the Mako, and go to your map. You will see three native colonies. Go towards
the one in the middle of the three. Then, go into the mining shaft, and proceed
through the tunnels until you reach the end. Search the two monkeys in that part
of the shaft. One of them will have the data module. Save the game immediately
after getting the module. Then, reload the saved game, and continue to press A
to keep searching the monkey that had the data module. Your Paragon meter over
the radar should increase each time you select the monkey. At approximately 300
Paragon, you will get the "Paragon" achievement. Note: If you have already
completed this assignment, this glitch cannot be done.
Infinite Paragon and Renegade points:
-------------------------------------
On the Noveria planet, go to the hotel bar, and look for a Turian named Lorik
Qui'in. Accept his quest to steal the data from his office. Once you get the
data, the receptionist will ask you to get Qui'in to testify. Tell her you will
do it, and then talk to Qui'in. Tell Qui'in that he should testify (top left
option). When he refuses, select the Charm option (top left) for Paragon points
or the Intimidate (bottom left) for Renegade points, and end the conversation.
Talk to him again, and ask about the Matriarch. When he gets done talking about
her, select the "Other questions" option (bottom right). You should now have the
option to ask him to testify again (top left). He will refuse, and you will be
able to use the Charm or Intimidate option again to gain another 24 Paragon or
Renegade points. Repeat this process as many times as desired. You can also
easily get the "Paragon" and "Renegade" achievements with the glitch.
Easy Mako repairs:
------------------
If your Mako is badly damaged and you do not want to or cannot spend Omni-gel to
repair it, save your game, and reload it. Your Mako should now be totally
repaired.
